Gray rues Town's fortune

Northampton Town manager Stuart Gray blamed a lack of fortune for failing to overcome Bristol Rovers on Wednesday evening.
Sean Rigg had fired the Pirates into a first-half lead at the Memorial Stadium before Poul Hubertz restored parity with a 55th minute equaliser.
"It's probably one of the worst pitches in our division at the moment and the weather made things even more difficult for the players," said Gray.
"But we were always determined to ensure that wasn't used as an excuse and I felt we showed good character to get back into the game after falling behind.
"I felt we should have had a second-half penalty and when we equalised I thought we would go on to win.
"But we didn't get the breaks in the box and I'm pleased with a point."
